The principle of the peristaltic hose pump is based on alternating
contraction and relaxation of the hose forcing the contents
through, operating in a similar way to our throat and intestines.
A smooth wall, flexible hose is fitted in the pump casing,
which is completely squeezed by the shoes on the rotor, inside
the pump casing. The rotation action moves the product through
the hose at a constant rate of displacement without slip,
making the pump suitable for high dosing applications and
pressure ratings up to 16 bar /230 psi.
The hose restitution after the squeeze produces an almost
full vacuum that draws the product in the hose, so very viscous
liquids are pumped without problems using the VERDERFLEX hose
pump. The pump casing is half-filled with a specially designed
VERDERLUBE, to lubricate and cool the pump to lengthen service
life of the hose. Since the product only comes in contact
with the hose and not with any rotating parts, the hose pump
is very suitable for shear sensitive fluids even when the
liquid contains particles.
